I've found that I actually prefer Twitter to FB these days (although my parents and in-laws would howl with rage if I ever stopped putting pictures of my littles up on FB, so I doubt I'll ever completely let go of that). I especially like being able to connect with other writers, and keep up to date on what's going on in the writing and publishing world. I'll definitely be following you now, too!

Well I'm not on twitter so I haven't a clue but I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on your query being picked up and liked and tweeted by an agent! That's just so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FAB!!!! Yay!! Well done you! take carex

Welcome aboard the Twitter train. I'll follow. :) Nice job with the query, too!! My only advice is to be careful. Twitter can suck a ton of time from you, but it's a great tool to keep you connected to the writing world.

Wow, congratulations! That's huge (both the agent liking your query and twittering.) My son swears by it, but I've had the same complex. I'd like to hear more about your learning curve, because some day I know I'll have to wise up and join the rest o f the world.

Hey Lydia! That's wonderful about the agent, AND I've been fighting to stay away from Twitter, too....but since you've taken the plunge, then I know I must follow! I have no idea how to even join, but I'll go take a look!

I'm on Twitter, and mostly use it to participate in my blog partner Heather's Tweetchat, #Writersroad on Mondays at 6:00p.m. I will follow you, Lydia, and am excited to see what's happening with the agent!

The best advice I could give you would be to join in on some of the Twitter chats, but use TweetChat to do it. That way you'll connect with a lot of great people in the writing community that are on Twitter, even a few agents and publishers!

Yay for agent tweet and yay for getting on twitter! I've been on there since ye elde days of twitter when no one was on there. It was really boring then. :P

I'm @kangaru, and I'm so following you! (Ok, that sounded creepier than I meant.)

So here's my tip, which may seem kind of obvious, but my friend totally didn't realize this until I pointed it out. When you're feeling totally overwhelmed/like you can't catch up, go to the @mentions tab just to see people who have tweeted at you or mentioned you. Easier to make sure you don't miss replying to someone.

Good luck! You'll get the hang of it soon & I hope I don't clog up your feed! :P

Hi Lydia, congrats on joining Twitter! I was a bit dubious about it at first too, but I soon realised what a good networking tool it is. I recently did a post on Twitter for newbies that you might find interesting. Also, I'm following you. ;) (@SariWebb)
